It does not seem to this observer that the gentlemen who marshalled our forces went about their work in the right way. The cup trials stirred up a lot of bad feeling among the younger members of the squad. Ir- respective of this, did the defence com- mittee make the most of the material it had to work with?

But the question im- mediately presented itself: was J ohn- ston equal to the physical burden of playing both singles and doubles? Could the committee afford to take him on faith for the doubles as well as the singles, particularly in view of the fact that his defeat by Borotra
